Ford Presidential Library ITEM WITHDRAWAL SHEET WITHDRAWAL ID 00669 Collection/Series/Folder ID No. : 001900106 Reason for Withdrawal : DR, Donor restriction Type of Material : NOT, Notes Description : re telephone calls from a destitu te person with legal difficulties Creation Date : 07/1975 Date Withdrawn : 05/10/1988 Friday 1/3/75 2:30 Talked with Geoff Shepard about the call from Mrs. Perez-Huerta; he will call her and tell her that any request like this has to come in writing; we can't check it over the phone. Recommend she write to her Governor and her Congressman because they have staffs that do this sort of work; the President does not. Suggested I refer calls to Roland Elliott's office -- they have a girl who is paid to take this kind of call. I checked -- it is Pat Strunk -- Comment line -- she is on 570 or 2852. LIBRARY GERALD R. FORD Friday 1/3/75 10:15 Mrs. Perez-Huerta (wife of Dr. Angel Perez-Huerta) (803) 268-4334 called to say that they had been advised by the Regional Office of EEOC that all legal intervention by the EEOC has been stopped all over the country. Dr. Perez-Huerta has four cases at the moment that the EEOC is processing. He is a Mexican-American and she is a British-American citizen --- both citizens of the U.S. They live in Greenville, South Carolina. Dr. Perez-Huerta is a physician and surgeon and has not been working for 2 years (?). He had applied for para- medical work. They took the four cases to the EEOC and they made their determinations in his favor -- made in October and November of 1972 and in January of 1973. They have been through all the processes at EEOC -- presumably to get them on the docket and under the law.. The lawyer told them there has been a ruling by a Federal judge in Maryland which has stopped all litigation all over the country. EEOC is appealing this rule. They have been without work all this time, and they are getting quite desperate. They have been told the appeal might be a question of months, and she wants to ask the President for help -- what happens to people when they need help. What about the ruling -- they have four cases in process -- one with the Justice Dept., but not yet on the docket but the other three are in the hands of the EEOC. I asked for the case numbers -- they are as follows: Case No. YAT 4-258 Charge No. TAT 3-0636 Case No. YAT 4-478 Charge No. TAT 3-0827 Case No. YAT 4-366 Charge No. TAT 3-0828 Case No. 4-478 has gone to the Justice Dept. -- Civil Rights Division.
